[Bug 815829] [NEW] Doesn't report a useful error when distributions are priority pinned in apt preferences

2011-07-25 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:

Hi, every time I do a dist upgrade I run into this.  The update manager
knows how to change the package repositories, but it should also check
that the repositories it needs end up with a suitable priority as seen
in 'apt-cache policy' to allow the upgrade to happen.  Otherwise, it
fails and it doesn't know why.

This could be important if, say, some installation instructions give
advice on how to pull in just a few packages from a newer release
without upgrading wholesale by using release priority pinning.  The user
doing this may not understand what is happening when following such
instructions, and then later get a cryptic error.  As such, it might be
useful for this check to be back-ported to the update mangers going back
to one or more LTS releases.

Example /etc/apt/preferences:
# You will need to remove this (or change oneiric to psychedelic or
# whatever Ubuntu 12.04 gets named) when you want to dist-upgrade to
# oneiric; the do-release-upgrade script won't change it for you (or
# know what went wrong)
Explanation: Don't install oneiric packages by default
Package: *
Pin: release a=oneiric
Pin-Priority: 99

Explanation: Don't install natty-proposed packages by default
Package: *
Pin: release a=natty-proposed
Pin-Priority: 98

[Bug 510419] Re: Suspend hangs after upgrade to 9.10

2010-07-07 Thread Sam Vilain
My laptop which was installed as Karmic and only upgraded as updates
comes out intermittently has this issue.  It is a Inspiron 9400 with a
nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS.  I put some notes on Bug #506719 - summary:
try suspending from a VT (ctrl+alt+f1, login, sudo pm-suspend).  If it
suspends successfully, but on resume nothing appears until you press
Alt+F7, then we possibly have the same bug (and it is related to nvidia
drivers, though indeterminably intermittent)

[Bug 506719] Re: Suspend/Hibernate Fail

2010-07-07 Thread Sam Vilain
I get this on Karmic from time to time on my Dell Inspiron 9400.  I also
have nvidia card.  The frustrating thing for me is that it sometimes
works, and then I know that I can generally keep suspending and resuming
so long as I don't reboot.  I did get a new ureadahead, ufw, libc6-bin
(plus various other probably ignorable updates eg cups, chrome, menu,
some libs) since it last worked successfully.

People experiencing this problem, try running 'sudo pm-suspend' from a
virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1, then login at the text prompt).  What I
find is that if I suspend from a text terminal, the suspend will
succeed.  On resume the video card does not appear to initialize
successfully, but this is a matter of Alt+F7, to switch back to X.
However as I mention above, sometimes it will succeed in X too.

I confirmed this behaviour on 2.6.31-22, 2.6.31-21, and 2.6.31-20,
definitely one of those kernels has worked for me in the last.

I just saw another amd64 machine show the same problem - network manager
just not wanting to control interfaces, even hard-wired.  Again I had to
revert to /etc/network/interfaces.  The network manager daemon was

does work with the kernel.

[Bug 441195] [NEW] [karmic] Dell Inspiron 9400 / ICH7 - Mixer controlling wrong settings

2009-10-03 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Hi, this might not be a bug in pulseaudio but I wasn't sure of the right
package for this.

Basically each of the volume controls in gnome seem to control the wrong
mixer channel.

The exact device ID is:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition 
Audio Controller (rev 01)
00:1b.0 0403: 8086:27d8 (rev 01)

Sliding the volume control with alsamixer open, I see behaviour where at
the top 80% of the volume range, the Master level is changed from 0 to
100%.  In the ~5% or so below that, the LFE level is changed from 0 to
100%.  In the bottom ~15%, the PCM level is dropped.

This seems like quite deliberate behaviour, but for this laptop it is
entirely inappropriate.  Between the 15% and 20% setting for instance
the subwoofer speaker goes from 0% to 100%, with the treble speakers
off.  It sounds *awful*!

More appropriate behaviour for this laptop is to have LFE at ~100% and
Master at ~85%, and then just changing PCM between about 100% and 25%
will give good levels for most environments.  Alternatively, you can
adjust both LFE and Master together - ideally with LFE slightly higher
than Master - and leave PCM on high and this will achieve a similar
effect.

[Bug 38988] Re: [wishlist] thread scoring rules

2009-05-25 Thread Sam Vilain
Micah, not really.  I for one though would like to highlight threads
which discuss key words about topics I specialize in, rather than have
to do that for every thread.  Also there are authors I respect who I'd
like to read much more of their writings than other authors.  I'd like
the unwatch thread to be more like mark thread as boring, which
might even have more options to say whether there were some key words
that made it boring, because perhaps I'd like to rank down messages
which match that.

Ah well I'm probably heading back towards gnus soon anyway... :-)

[Bug 116183] GTK's compose map is different to X's

2007-05-22 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libgtk2.0-0

I'm guessing that GTK is the root cause of this.  But basically, I can't
type certain compose sequences in Mozilla, OOo or gnome-terminal that
work in xterm or emacs.  Or, the resultant sequences will be different.

For instance, in emacs or xterm if I type Multi_key underscore A,
I get a ā as defined in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.
However, if I enter it in any gtk application, I get ª.  This is
particularly irritating when entering pīnyīn, which uses characters like
ǚ.  I have yet to figure out what gtk expects me to hit to compose a
character with a caron on it, or why it doesn't just let X.org do it for
it.

I've seen this in all Ubuntu releases from Dapper to Feisty, and I
expect that this is the root cause behind Bug #98945 too.

Note I'm using xkb directly to configure my keyboard, not gnome-
keyboard-properties.  Every time I start certain gnome-control-panel
applications they will override this keymap  and I will have to re-run
xkbcomp to load the keymap I actually want.

Ok, I have confirmed with a native Chinese person that the current
postmodern set is fine and that the problems I raised are just script
style difference.  So you can close this bug :)

[Bug 51402] Re: splash causes fade-to-white on Toshiba Satellite M40X (ATI Radeon Mobility X600)

2006-07-03 Thread Sam Vilain
I think it's a radeon-specific bug.  The atyfb (iirc, not near my laptop
atm) driver doesn't work with a lot of radeon cards.  My old Dell
Inspiron 8000 did the same thing with that driver, too.

The reason I logged it against this was my suspicion that the Ubuntu-
specific(?) splash extension was making a card-specific choice to try
to use a better framebuffer driver than vesafb.

Failing in this manner would be fine, but it does exactly the same thing
with the Safe VGA menu option from the Live/InstallCD.  That menu
option should *definitely* not use card-specific framebuffer drivers for
the splash; either VGA or VesaFB are the safest.

Perhaps allow splash=vesa and splash=vga, and add those options to
the LiveCD installation menu?

[Bug 51407] postmodern tile set has incorrect chinese characters

2006-06-30 Thread Sam Vilain
Public bug reported:

Hi there,

Despite not being Chinese, starting mahjongg I am somehow offended on
behalf of the Zhongren that the default tileset has some characters
which are drawn incorrectly; that is to say the character has been
stylised based on poor interpretations of the original brush strokes.
What has probably happened is that already stylised characters were used
as a basis for the postmodern set, and subtleties of the original
strokes were overlooked.

In particular; the 4 of characters is definitely wrong, and the 7 and 8
of characters look awkward.  One or two of the wind tiles do not look to
be composed of valid strokes.  I think most of the others are probably
ok.

It might be worth getting someone who is actually Chinese to look at the
postmodern tile set and point out which characters need fixing.  This
might seem stupid and trivial, but I understand well written script is
important to the Chinese, and Mahjongg is a famous game with much
heritage in that country.

2. The Screensaver kicks in if you move the time forward. This would

3. also no way to select RTC in GMT or UTC.

[Bug 51400] Re: Can't edit partitions without adding and removing

2006-06-30 Thread Sam Vilain
I think what happened was the sub-menu was grayed out for me, and it
wasn't completely obvious why.

It did feel like the kind of bug that you'd have to be nuking a Windows
partition from orbit at the time to truly appreciate.  The machine is
still caught with the sickness, every circuit dreading that instruction
processor leap into sector 0.  Even though the system was already
purring more gently, it was still weak, not yet fully capable.  After
some battling, the installer crashed for me
[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/50957], at
which point I could have sworn I could feel the seething of the entity
on the hard disk below towards my fingers.

Not to be beaten, I noted it down on my bug powder dust trail, swore I'd
curse that behaviour with a bugreport, and fired up ubiquity once more.
The next time through we were much better prepared; not going to fall
for the murphy's cylinder rounding again
[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/51396], I
opted for a 2.5GB root, and then bore down upon that XP install with
reckless and wanton abandon.  With a firm pass through with parted and
the installation checkmarked go, I reflected upon how cool it was the
first time I got to play Tetris while installing Linux, and how much
infinitely cooler this was, installing via the LiveCD.

So in this nostalgic moment I chose to log my bug reports, and finish it
all off with a gratiutous game of Mahjongg, which, incidentally, was
solved first time.  That's when I knew that the installation had done
the trick.

Anyway, IIRC I had a partition space that I wanted to change to don't
format that was already marked as being ext3.  And, I don't remember
Format to... being available.  So, I reckon if you can't replicate
that behaviour pretty quickly then this bug doesn't really deserve to
exist much longer.

All the best from NZ dude :-)  Keep up the good work and have a great
weekend.

I had the same problem - missing files in that lib32stdc++6 package.
This really can't be a coincidence; some postinst/preinst somewhere is
nuking the files.

The workaround I used was the same as above;

  dpkg --remove lib32stdc++6
  apt-get install lib32stdc++6

And now OOo starts!  Yay!  :)
